3 | 04.03.2022 | Ma Stump Puller | 6.0 | A fairly good tag specialist, mostly known for his Fantastics work, which I'll admit first hand I'm not too versed on in the first place. I know him mostly from his AJPW material, which is still pretty solid given his record. He has a fine run as the Eagle to the Patriot as a mid-card duo that can hang with the native talent and be a convincing threat, and later on he moves into a more generalised act that probably could've done more if not for his SMW obligations. Him being in Movement as a solid third wheel to Ace and Gunn could've worked well for him but alas. Hines doesn't really enhance anyone he's with and seems to be more of a wrestler who works at the pace of his opponent, not the other way around. If he's with a lazy Mutoh, he works at that rate. If he's against a fired up Malenko duo, he's a bit more exciting. Works well as a heel but can do face work fine, albeit not as well. He's not particularly remarkable in any regard but he's a good hand that has plenty of decent to solid tag bouts under his belt. As a singles guy he seems to be pretty much unremarkable. |
